Always wanted to go back and read Amy Stewart’s first book, From the Ground Up? Now’s the time. $1.99! They also have The Earth Moved on sale, Amy’s book about earthworms which will make you the life of any cocktail party (if your friends are anything like mine!).

Next up, Jayme from Nest in Style and Theresa from Living Homegrownare each giving away 1 lb bags of Forage Blend seeds from Peaceful Valley! This stuff is meant to keep backyard chickens entertained, either when stuck in their chicken runs or out in the garden, and it’s packed with omega-3s for healthy eggs. Just comment to enter:

Lastly, Growing a Greener World is back and better than ever with their latest season. They start things off with a bang by interviewing winter gardening experts Elliott Coleman and Barbara Damrosch about how to get started gardening productively in winter. Why are we talking about this in summer? Well, as in all things gardening, these things take time to plan and start. Now’s the time to get moving if you want a great winter crop.

That’s it for this week folks! Seen anything cool around the web? Let me know in the comments below!

Thanks so much for the shout out on our Chicken Forage Blend giveaway Gen! We really appreciate it.

And thanks for the mention of our new episode on Growing A Greener World. Yeah…the timing was not right for broadcasting the winter show. But we hope that just means everyone will watch it again during winter. Ha!
